Chocolates and Cherries~D.M.

Y/N took a seat next to Ron and Harry, she was tired from the dancing she did all night, not to mention Draco Malfoy being touchy with Pansy. She've felt drained already.

Patil sisters were already gone, dancing with other people and enjoying their night. Y/N sank into her seat while Harry and Ron were watching random people dancing. "Why are you here Y/N?" Ron asked not leaving his eyes away from the crowd.

"Tired." She answered shortly.

"Where is Nakamura?"

"He told me he had to go."

Before Harry or Ron could ask anymore questions, McGonnagal's voice interrupted them "Hello you three, mind smiling for a picture? It will be in your yearbook." She said with her usual heavy British accent.

They all awkwardly leaned towards eachother without sitting up from their seats. Y/N forced a smile, so did Ron and Harry.

McGonnagal took a look at picture. "Amazing, thank you dears."

McGonagal then moved to the crowd. Y/N's eyes watched as couples and friends happily posed for the pictures. She smiled when Hermione and Krum posed, admiring how wide Hermione's smile was.

However Y/N's smile faded as soon as McGonnagal moved to Draco and Pansy. Draco held her by her waist as they posed. Y/N stared at the scene, trying to understand why it bothered her so much.

"I'm going to steal Y/N my lovely bros." Fred said after he aproached the cheerful atmosphere around them. He grabbed Y/N's arm and leaded her to the center of the dance floor.

"I would have asked you out myself if I knew you would have a long face all night."

Y/N let out an offended gasp, "I did not have a long face, I was just tired."

Fred chuckled, he leaned towards Y/N's ear and spoke." I've noticed you have eyes on somebody else." He had a huge smirk on his face. Y/N's face fell with Fred's statement.

"It's nothing like that!" She protested almost instantly. Her face was pale due to the shock she was experiencing.

"Whatever, we will talk about it later. I won't let a random boy ruin your night, cheer up!" He took Y/N's hands and forced her to dance. Y/N, who wasn't really into it at first, got her usual cheerful mood back after some dancing to the rock and roll.

Fred always knew how to cheer her up, Y/N felt thankful to him as they danced together, having the time of their lifes.

"Oh Miss Lupin it's you again." McGonnagal said as she held the camera at them. "Picture Mr Weasley."

Fred got closer to Y/n and kneeled down in front of her. "Hop on."

Y/N rolled her eyes sarcastically before doing as he said.

Fred stook his tongue out playfully and Y/N did the rock and roll sign.

"Thanks you Mr Weasley and Miss Lupin." McGonnagal left the duo, Fred didn't let Y/N down. He continued on jumping and dancing. Y/N was enjoying every second, being on top of the crowd made her feel superior.

"Where is George?" Y/N asked, leaning down to Fred's ear.

"Angela and him got along much more than pretty well, I left them alone."

"No way."

They finally left the dance floor when some slow song started playing. Many people had left, the ones left were mostly couples.

"Thank you Fred, you saved my night." Y/N said while they were getting drinks together. She took a bite of the chocolate-chip cookie in her hand, amazed by the taste of it. It was delicious.

Well, anything with chocolate was delicious to her.

"Anytime Y/N."

Fred glanced around to see if anyone familiar was around, he noticed that most of them were students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

"So tell me about your little crush."

Y/N let out an annoyed groan. "I do not have a crush on him."

"Then what was up with the looks you gave him all night?"

Y/N hesitated, she wasn't sure if she should tell him everything. What she did felt very wrong after all. However, in the end she decided to tell Fred. She trusted him and of couse, it was clear that she couldn't handle this situation on her own.

She told Fred everything, from how she ended up asking Draco to make this potion, to how they got into this argument. And also how she felt about tonight. Fred listened to her without interrupting. When Y/N was done, she took a look at Fred's face to see his reaction.

"I made a bet with George about you ending up with Nakamura, I guess I lost it." Fred said with a frown on his face.

"What?"

Fred ignored the questioning look on the girls face, instead he continued, "You should go talk to him again."

"After all that happened? Are you out of your mind?"

"He needed time to cool of, he spoke with shock and anger, it's Malfoy, you know him."

"Please don't say his name like that in open." She whispered, she took a look around to see if anyone was listening to their conversation, thankfully she found no one.

"Apple?"

Apple is fine."

"Well your dear Apple is heading upstairs, you should go and talk to him."

Y/N immediately turned around, she noticed Draco was indeed heading upstairs. "Right now?" She exclaimed with a panicked look on her face. "And he isn't my dear!"

"Who?"

"Apple."

"Whatever, go talk to him!"

"No!"

Fred placed his hand on the shorter girls shoulders, he gently shook her. "Don't you trust me?" He said maintaining eye contach with her.

"More than everyone else."

"Then go!" Fred exclaimed as he pushed the girl towards the stairs.

She turned to look at Fred with a look of worry all over her face. After Fred gave her a thumbs up, the took a deep breath and started climbing up the stairs Draco did.
